DVD Commentary by Steve Smith
STEVE SMITH: "Men's Night On the Mountain" was actually the very first episode of our fifth season up here in Canada. And the thing that stands out for me about this one is, uh, Graham Greene, certainly an accomplished dramatic actor. I met him at a, uh... I met him at an industry function, and he had seen The Red Green Show somewhere. I mean, on an airplane or an airport waiting area. Somewhere! Anyway... And he just thought it was so weird that he just wanted to be on it. He said, "What do I have to do to be on your show?" I said, "Well, you've just done it." So we created the Edgar K.B. Montrose character. And one the very first appearances by Graham was in this one, in this episode. And, uh, we knew that, uh... Everybody knows that Graham had been nominated for an Oscar in the movie Dances With Wolves. So we wanted to have a little bit of fun with that and let him have some fun with himself. So we did a little Experts segment based on the movies of today. Well, you'll see how it turned out.

Red's Campfire Song
{Red plays guitar, while Harold clicks two spoons together.}

RED GREEN: {singing}
 * Oh, Duffy's joints, (?) and loud,
 * Is where they all were breaking.
 * He twisted his knuckles and cracked his knees.
 * He sounded like a popcorn maker.
 * He snapped his back and rippled his spine,
 * And did it all with a big stupid grin.
 * Then he slipped and fell 300 feet on a rock,
 * And that was the last crack we heard from him.

Real-World References

 * During the Experts scene, Harold mentions Dances With Wolves.
 * On Dances With Wolves, Edgar mentions "the native guy" in that movie. He was most likely referring to Kicking Bird, who is played by Graham Greene, who, of course, portrays Edgar on the show.
